[Ananya Shetty]

This book provides a psychoanalytic perspective on the issues of racism, class and gender. It elaborates how these differences present themselves in our interactions with ourselves and those around us. More importantly, for those in the field of psychoanalysis, this book provides real-life examples of how these differences can affect the client-therapist dynamics and how to mindfully address them.

[Nimisha]

Psychoanalysis beyond the therapy room, in the context of race and politics.
